5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Cheese Rocked Lake Tahoe, July 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tuxicity (Audio CD)

I happened to be wandering through Caesar's Palace Hotel-Casino in South Lake Tahoe (Stateline, NV) in 2004 when I heard some really swinging music coming from the Stone Street Bar and Grill. I had never heard of Richard Cheese, but now realize that with TV appearances (including Leno), RC has a cult following. The great thing about his music is that it is swing with a sense of humor. It pokes fun at the overly-serious and heavy handed sound and lyrics of modern rock music-- by doing the tunes in the exact opposite manner than the artist intended. It creates a fun-loving mood, and musically, the band and Mr. Cheese's voice are very enjoyable.

Some time ago, the squeaky-clean Pat Boone came out with an album "In a Metal Mood" that was meant to be a joke-- on it he swung Ozzy Ozbourne's Crazy Train, and that became the theme song to the TV show "The Osbournes." Richard Cheese expands this concept.

5.0 out of 5 stars So wrong it's right., April 5, 2004

Words cannot do this album justice. It's strange to hear lounge versions of modern songs, but after the strangeness (and hilarity) wears off, the songs grow on you and a couple aren't too bad to groove to. Until you've heard the lounge version of "Shake Ya *ss" by Mystikal, you haven't really lived. Mr. Cheese is the Poet Laureate of the our generation. Even if you don't care for lounge music, you've absolutely got to hear the talented Mr. Cheese's covers. I highly recommend this album.
